Global star Rain (Jung Ji Hoon), who is enjoying a new heyday as his 2017 song 'Gang' went viral again, has been selected as the new model for Nongshim's Shrimp Cracker (also called Sae Woo Gang) thanks to public expectations and wishes.
Rain's agency, Sublime Artist Agency revealed on June 4 that, "Rain has been chosen as a model for Nongshim's Shrimp Cracker, which was released in 1971. It is more meaningful because we think it's done thanks to the wishes of many people," adding, "They will make future advertisements with Rain and the public."
The craze for the singer's 2017 song 'Gang', which started with online memes (including all the popular photos and video content online), became hotter as Rain revealed his appearance in MBC's entertainment show 'Hangout With Yoo', and people were responding cheerfully to it. The public continued to ask Rain to be selected as a "shrimp snack" model, and this request eventually led to Nongshim's decision.
Rain, who were earlier announced as the Ambassador for the denim brand Levi Strauss Korea, is drawing attention as he becomes advertising model for a series of big brands, proving his current popularity.
